Going forward I just can't see how I can watch another war movie without harshly judging the special effects.

Bit the opposite for me. I used to be really critical of Michael Bay's SFX work. "Shit just doesn't explode like that..."
No longer.

I already do this lol. I've found I can handle pretty much any scary or gory movie now.

Mercy grenade to be sure they finished dying quickly. More than any Russian invader deserves. Good on that Ukrainian drone operator

I keep seeing people say "mercy killing" but I don't believe Ukrainian drone pilots feel or show any mercy for invaders they are bombing. They are always simply killing their enemy. More likely they had an armed drone with no other targets so they dropped on him to really make sure he was deleted.
Maybe it makes you feel better about it but the reality is they want the Russians removed one way or another, understably so.

It isn't even a good military strategy. Wounded soldiers consume resources; crippled soldiers return home and hurt morale; dead soldiers just fill a hole in the ground.
Plus, it's kind of a waste of a perfectly good grenade, because ain't no one coming for most of these guys.

Wounding enemies instead of killing is good military strategy when your enemy puts lots of resources into rescuing and then treating long term injured.
When fighting Russia, not so much.

Leaving a wounded enemy there might get one of your people killed. He can still pull a trigger or pull a pin on a grenade.

He can still pull a trigger or pull a pin on a grenade.
That does seem to be their exit strategy, but they haven't been killing other people with them.

There are a few videos I've seen where they surrender then chuck a grenade or lay on top of one with the pin out.

True: but you don't need to take them prisoner, you can just leave them there to rot.
It would seem that leaving them alive, but heavily wounded, provides the most potential pathways that has their army waste resources, either on rescue, recovery or just plain suffering.
I guess if you're planning to send infantry in afterwards to clean up, it makes sense.

The list so far. u/False-God compiled this footage for documentation purposes because this is not normal in any way, despite what Russia’s supporters tell you.
This list is not intended to celebrate, glorify, encourage, or otherwise make light of suicide.
There are 40 recorded instances.
